Abstract: An antenna assembly for a wireless communication device includes a substrate of dielectric material that has opposing first and second surfaces. A ground plane formed by a layer of electrically conductive material on the first surface. An antenna with a physical length is disposed on the substrate. At least one metal-dielectric structure is disposed on the substrate. The metal-dielectric structures resonate so as to interact with the antenna and thereby alter the effective electrical length of the antenna. That interaction causes the antenna to function as though it had a greater physical length. In one embodiment, that interaction enables an antenna ,that is shorter than one-fourth the wavelength of a radio frequency signal applied thereto, to function as through the physical length of the antenna was one-fourth that wavelength.

Abstract: A mobile wireless communications device includes a transceiver, an auxiliary receiver and a controller. The transceiver includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter upconverts a transmit baseband modulated signal and generates an RF modulated signal having a transmit impairment. The auxiliary receiver is coupled to the transmitter and downconverts the RF modulated signal and generates a receive baseband modulated signal having a receive impairment therein spectrally separated from the transmit impairment. The controller is coupled to the transmitter and the auxiliary receiver and estimates the transmit impairment while ignoring the receive impairment based on comparing the transmit baseband modulated signal with the receive baseband modulated signal. The controller generates an impairment compensation signal based upon the estimated transmit impairment.

Abstract: Methods (400, 500) and systems (200, 300) for controlling a power pack charging circuit (210, 310). While a device (202, 302) is connected to an electrical charging source (204, 304), a determination (402, 502) is made that an operating condition of a device satisfies a condition for halting charging of a power pack (214, 314) of the device. While the operating condition of the device satisfies the condition for halting charging of the power pack, a power pack output value is determined (406, 506). While the operating condition of the device satisfies the condition for halting charging of the power pack, a power pack charging circuit output characteristic is set (408, 508) to an output value that is determined based upon the power pack output value to preclude charging of the power pack.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for facilitating custodian-based routing. During operation, the system receives (308), at a computing device serving as a backup custodian to one or more mobile devices, a request for a piece of content from a requesting device, which has mapped the content to the computing device based on the content's name without using the computing device's physical address. The system determines (314) whether the content is available on the computing device. In response to the content not being available on the computing device, the system identifies (318) a mobile device that stores the content, and obtains the content from the identified mobile device. The system then caches (324) the content on the computing device, thereby enabling the computing device to provide the content in response to subsequent requests without connecting to the identified mobile device, and provides the content to the requesting device.
